This Can’t Be Right
The Obama Administration asked for funds to buy a prison in Illinois to transfer Gitmo prisoners to: Rebuffed this month by skeptical lawmakers when it sought finances to buy a prison in rural Illinois, the Obama administration is struggling to come up with the money to replace the Guantánamo Bay prison. As a result, officials […]
Monday Afternoon Quick Hits
Today we have some more hypocrisy and lies from a Republican, more examples of Obama failure (i.e. accomplishments) for our purist friends, and some wise advice on what the U.S. should do during the Green Revolution in Iran (i.e. look at the example of the Velvet Revolution).
South Philly Shall Rise Again!
The Philadelphia chapter of Teabagging goodness has split into north and south groups, the latter representing South Philly and the former representing the Northeast. Let the Civil War jokes commence.
Deadline Day for Appeal to US Supreme Court
Today is the deadline for the State of Delaware to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court the Third Circuit’s ruling that under federal law, Delaware can only have parlay betting on NFL games, rather than a full sports book as originally intended in the legislation. I have not heard anything on whether the state does […]
Praise from Friend and Foe alike

Monday Open Thread

Politweets
In general I stay away from Politico as it is the TMZ of political journalism, but it has stayed in my news reader for some reason. And today I learned why. There’s a short little article about the top 10 political tweets of 2009. Here is one from the Iranian Student protests: It was a […]
Pete Hoekstra is a Traitor
Under the political rules in play during the last administration, Republican Congressman Pete Hoekstra of Michigan would have had to resign by now, he would have been called a traitor by any number of administration officials, and the hotheads over at Free Republic and Little Green Footballs would have put out contracts for his death […]
Teabaggers Target Corporate America
Yep, you heard that right — the teabaggers are trying to organize a “National Day of Strike” for January 20, the first anniversary of Obama’s inauguration: The goal of the strike, according to the website where it’s being planned, is to “financially cripple” the companies across America the group says are “backing the leftist agenda” […]
